Looking up ApplicationUser in each controller action

Question

I am writing an ASP.Net Core Web Application, using the template as my starting point. I have added a couple of custom fields to my ApplicationUser which have an impact on what data I return from my controller actions.

At the moment I am doing the following in each controller where I need to look up these fields:

ApplictionUser user = await _userManager.FindByIdAsync(User.FindFirstValue(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier));

This works fine, but I am wondering if this is the correct way to go about this; making a db lookup in every action for the user details or should I be caching the retrieved user in some way?

If you don't need to update the user info in Db frequently ,you could cache the receviced user following the docuemnt
